Export of sunflower oil

Sunflower oil has become one of the most effective drivers of development in the global agricultural market for Russia. At the same time, unlike grain, oil, as a processed product, is a more profitable export position. In 2020, Russia increased its sunflower oil exports by 37.8% to a record 2.26 million tons. For several years in a row, ASTON occupies a leading position in the Russian export market of sunflower oil, and in 2017 became the largest exporter of the Russian Federation.

Export of grain crops

Over the past 5 years, ASTON has increased grain export by almost 3 times, confidently holding a leading position among Russia's largest exporters.

In 2013/14, the company exported about 1,377 thousand tons of grain to the world market. And already in 2018/19, 3,821 thousand tons were exported. It should be noted that our clients are not only private flour milling companies, but also public procurement agencies, such as Egyptian GASC and Bangladesh DG Food. The traditional countries of grain supply for ASTON are Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkey, Vietnam, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and many others.
